2016 Map of Hell Roaring Creek

About this map

Hell Roaring Creek and the N Pease River define the intricate drainage patterns across this portion of the Texas Rolling Plains. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of intermittent waterways, including Shores Cr, Sweetwater Cr, and Devils Cr, which have carved deep contours into the terrain. This 2016 survey illustrates the boundary between Childress and Cottle Counties, a line that bisects the small Groclose Lake in the western quadrant. Human activity is marked by a grid of rural county roads such as Co RD 193 and Co RD BB, alongside Ranch Rd 2103, which facilitate travel between isolated ranching properties. The map captures the specialized hydrology of the region, where seasonal creeks flow toward the Pease River basin, supporting the agricultural and pastoral life of the North Texas panhandle fringe.
